Latitude-dependent finescale turbulent shear generations in the Pacific tropical-extratropical upper ocean

Turbulent mixing is critically important for ocean circulation, but their latitudinal distribution are poorly known. Here, the authors show that the generation mechanism of the W-shaped distribution of turbulent mixing in the tropical-extratropical Pacific is latitude dependent.
